Felix pulled his cape around himself, following Caspian through Sonora's streets as Caspian made offhand, derogatory comments to almost every person he saw.
"That old woman is so ugly, I'd kill myself if I was as fat as her."
"Ugh, I'm gonna outlaw all the poor people when I'm king. They just take up space."
"Everyone in this town is so weird and mixed. I should put brown-haired people to death."
"Felix? Felix? Felix, are you listening to me?"
Felix turned around, moving his eyes from his white gloves to Caspian's face.
"Hm?"
(okay I added Cade's outfit to his profile)
"Ok, I just need to go home quickly." She stated, "Do you want to meet here, or do you want to come?" She gestured down the crowded street.
(I also changed his appearance slightly to be more suited for the environment)
Cade eyed the crowd suspiciously. "You go. I'll stay here."
( Since Caspian and Felix are heading towards Sonora, should they run into Riann? )
(That's what I was going for!)
(That's what I was going for!)
( Great minds think alike )
"Okay, give me fifteen minutes, meet here." She nodded and took off down the street, up a slanted roof, and out of sight.
Cade nodded to her as she left and he continued to twirl the knife in his hand. She better not take long. If I stand here shadily twirling a knife for a while people will get suspicious.
Caspian ordered Felix to stand next to him, "We could be twins!"
"I'd rather not." Felix blew his fluffy blond hair out of his face, "You are the prince. Your subjects would not appreciate that form of debauchery."
Caspian groaned, "Felix, you've become less fun every since that servant girl. What was her name? Mary? Maria?"
"Marya." Felix gritted his teeth, "Her name was Marya."
(By the way, Felix was a supporter of the royal family until he met Marya)
(so he wasn't as nice back then)
Riann exited onto the streets, crowds all moving in the same direction. She tied her hair back and pulled her shawl over her face as she headed down a different street. As she passed dancers, entertainers and merchants, she quickly studied each person. Where is Cade? He should be here by now. . .
(So, if Riann knew him before Marya, she would have the opinion that he was a stuck-up guard)
(If she knew him after, she'd know he hates the royal family)
(and he's heartbroken)
(and his family was murdered by the head guard)
Wait…was I supposed to meet someone else? Who was it? I should have written it down. Cade sighed, disappointed in himself.
( Riann was quiet back then, and she took a liking in studying people. . . so I think she would have noticed a few things. She was mostly living in the shadow of her twin brother )
Chiara would be wearing something similar to this but more practical:

Chiara followed Riann out.
( Chiara has a dead twin brother)
(Felix has a dead twin sister)
Silene quickly emerged from over a wall with her bag. She looked over at Cade and gave him a thumbs-up. "Got everything." She said, climbing down a ladder. "Let's go, I guess."
Cade nodded, pointing back up at the ladder. "Turn around. We're going on the rooftops." He ran over to her and jumped onto the ladder. He started to climb up, flinching slightly as his bare feet touched the cold rungs.
"Right. Did you love her, Felix? She was a prime specimen of the Sabbia regime. Her hair could've had some work though. Dirty blond. Her eyes needed some work too. But her figure was nice. A good prize Felix? I can find her, y'know. I'm sure she's a wonderful plaything." Caspian laughed as he kicked at the dusty street.
"She's not a plaything, nor does she need work. Marya is Marya." Felix wanted to punch Caspian in his royal face. Marya. Her brown eyes were long vats of melting chocolate when she was at her most vulnerable, but quickly became the rocks that ships crashed against at sea when angered. Her brown eyes were the black hole that Felix felt himself falling into every time he looked into her eyes. But she was gone. And it was his fault.
( Don't worry, Riann will punch Caspian for you )
"Rooftops?" She laughed. "Okay, I like your style." She followed him up the ladder, wondering if he was crazy, or genius.
Riann looked behind her, crowds calling out words at a caravan passing through town. Nothing could attract that much attention. She turned around and squinted, looking towards the group, catching a flash of blond hair. It can't be. Riann glanced at the other street, debating if she should ignore it and walk away. No, she couldn't. She couldn't run away again.
A warm breeze blew by, ruffling his pants and making his vest wave around like a flag. This might make things harder. Cade sprinted across the sandy rooftops, jumping between buildings and hoping no one would look up.
Breeze watched as a group of soldiers escorting the crown prince entered town. This isn't good.
She moved into the streets to better blend in.
(Poor Felix!)
Chiara noticed something shift in her friend’s expression. “What’s wrong?”, she asked in a low tone.
Caspian raised an eyebrow, "Is she hurting your feelings? What happened with her?"
"We just had a disagreement. And I hurt her really bad." Felix's face darkened and he knew he was only belittling it. What he had done was much, much worse.
"Royalty." Riann muttered, walking towards the crowd. She pushed her way to the front, her shawl falling to reveal her dark hair. In front of her stood her twin brother. Blond. Blue eyes. The sun of her parent's lives. Disgust and anger churned at the sight of him.
